ELITE: Milwaukee Brewers Prospects SOAR –Jesus Made, Cooper Pratt, Luis Pena Among a Terrific Future
Milwaukee Brewers’ minor league system is primed to change the future of the franchise—will top prospects like Jesus Made’, Luis Peña, and Cooper Pratt accelerate the team’s return to contention?
Chuck Freimund and prospect expert Dan Zielinski from Baseball Prospect Journal- break down the organization’s impressive track record, spotlighting Milwaukee’s up-the-middle draft focus, international scouting successes, and the pivotal roles of emerging talents including catcher Jefferson Quero and pitcher Logan Henderson.
The discussion explores the depth chart logjam at shortstop, potential blockbuster trade chips, and rapid rises—and regressions—among position players and arms. Key insights include Andrew Fischer’s power potential, Brock Wilkin’s opportunity for a breakout, and which under-the-radar names could surprise in 2026. With pitching depth analyzed and bullpen roles up for grabs, the Brewers’ scouting strategy and developmental philosophy take center stage. Can Milwaukee’s youth movement fuel a postseason push?

It’s gonna be a make or break year for Ortiz apparently. I would not give up on him because he can play some really stellar D at 2B, 3B, and SS.
Keep ortiz. Shortstop need not be a power source. Back in the day it was a defensive position first usually batting as t bottom of order.
Because of his defensive prowess, I think Ortiz will be the Brewers shortstop until Made, Pratt or someone else comes in and hits too.
Milwaukee brewers need a trade 2025 2026
This guy dan zelendky is a great insight guy
I sincerely hope that Trevor Megill in on the Brewers roster come opening day. He is worth way more to our bullpen than any position player the Brewers would acquire for 6 mil.
Black needs a change of scenery. He may help in a package deal for a deal.
